Browsing a Maine Farmers' Market

The farm-to-table movement is strong in Maine, thanks to the state's ever-growing number of farmers' markets that fill fields, town greens, and empty parking lots from York to Presque Isle. Dusty tailgates become instant storefronts, with farmers selling everything from freshly tapped maple syrup to fiddleheads, quarts of pea-size blueberries, home-smoked mussels, tangy goat's cheese, and bunches of wild cosmos and lupines. Among the places to sample local products are Saco, Blue Hill, and Crystal Springs Farm in Brunswick.
